The Arizona Pickleball Player’s League (APPL) is a nonprofit organization that was founded and is currently led by a group of volunteers with a shared desire to make competitive team-based league pickleball available to players all throughout Arizona.
Founder of Arizona Pickleball Player’s League, Greg now serves as the organization’s president and league commissioner.
Priscilla has played an important role in the development and growth of the APPL Southern Region. She is a leader in general pickleball growth with her involvement in the Tucson Area Pickleball organization.
Also here since the organization’s beginning, Carol was largely responsible for the formation of the APPL West Valley region. Carol also serves as our APPL Media Relations contact and our USA Pickleball liaison.
Alexa's role is to ensure our communications, processes, assimilation and tools are effective for our players and volunteers.
Managing the maintenance and updates to APPL's website as well as all APPL regional websites, Brenda has been largely responsible for making our software systems interfaces user friendly and easy to learn and navigate.
Gregg has been instrumental in building and promoting APPL in the East Valley Region for several years. He has built his reputation as the Men's League coordinator in the region and is a welcome addition to the Regional Directors crew.
Chuck joined Team APPL with an initial mission to fill gaps in the Southern Region's flight offerings. Leveraging his background in business development, one of his most notable achievements was leading the region's effort to successfully launch the 65+ age division.
Kevin has been involved with APPL since its start up in Casa Grande in 2020. First as a team captain, then as a League Coordinator, and now as Regional Director. Kevin's previous career of leadership placed him solidly in working with civic communities, government and now APPL.
“The West Valley APPL league play was a great way for us to meet players from other resorts and have some very competitive pickleball play too. We are excited about creating more teams from Happy Trails this year, and look forward to another fun year of pickleball play.”
